This unit information may be updated and amended immediately prior to semester. To ensure you have the correct outline, please check it again at the beginning of semester.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to apply an understanding of the connection between safe dance practice, and nutrition principles and human body structure. Dancers and other performers apply the skills and knowledge outlined in this unit in daily training sessions to avoid injury or to adjust their approach to physical conditioning. This unit also applies to dance teachers who impart this knowledge to learners to facilitate informed discussion about safe dance practice. At this level people take responsibility for their own outputs and activity is usually self-directed, though some guidance from teachers or mentors could be expected. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Students will attend on campus classes as well as engage in learning activities through ECU Blackboard.

Evidence of the ability to: - gather information about anatomy and nutrition principles to improve own practice - engage in informed discussions about safe dance practice - apply knowledge of the human skeletal and muscular systems to enhance safe dance practice - maintain currency of knowledge of anatomy and nutrition and its application to safe dance practice. Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided for each of the above points at least once.
To complete the unit requirements the individual must: - describe sources of information about anatomy and nutrition in relation to safe dance practice - demonstrate well-developed knowledge of: - systems of the body - main muscles of the body - bone structure properties - alignment principles - healthy eating practices - relationship between anatomical structures and dance functions - how skeletal muscle develops, grows and repairs itself.
Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to: - project or work activities that allow candidates to expand their knowledge of anatomy and nutrition principles. Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
